The journal Textiles (ISSN: 2673-7248) was launched in 2021 and has been running for the past two years with interesting publications covering the field. Now, the time has come to look back at the publications and consider whether the subjects listed in the scope are still up to date and of interest to the scientific community. Considering the published papers and the developments in the various research fields, we concluded that the subjects mentioned in the scope are largely appropriate and up to date, but some fine adjustments and extensions can be made. More details are presented in Table 1.
